4-Module Intensive Program of the NEW KNOWLEDGE

Why is there a need for the program Thinking Processes 2.0?

In the last 6 years Jelena has generated and published massive new knowledge on how to drastically improve quality of working with the central TOC Thinking Processes tools – Clouds, assumptions, injections, the negative branch, the positive branch, logical clusters ‘if…then…because’, the Layers of Resistance, and the Strategy and Tactics Tree.

This new knowledge includes:

the typology of frequent mistakes and difficulties in constructing different types of Clouds (in structure, wording and logic);

the typology of mistakes in surfacing assumptions under logical connections in the Cloud;

the rules to recognize and avoid such mistakes and overcome difficulties;

the meaning and mechanics of assumptions behind

clear instructions how to produce better quality Clouds and assumptions;

the detailed process of challenging assumptions and developing Injections;

the rules for correct wording of UnDesirable Effects (UDEs);

the typical mistakes and difficulties in constructing UDE Clouds and how to avoid them;

the detailed rules for consolidating UDE clouds;

the more straightforward, robust and significantly faster process of constructing a good quality Negative Branch;

the quick and reliable process of building a Positive Branch to identify all necessary conditions for achieving an ambitious target;

the clear and reliable process of how to respectfully solve a severe conflict between two sides;

the techniques for recognizing the Layer of Resistance from the language the person uses in response to a suggestion;

the techniques for reconstructing Clouds and assumptions from a suggestion/Injection/idea;

the techniques for justifying a suggestion/decision;

the rules and techniques for constructing the S&T structure;

the rules for vertical relationship between the boxes (steps) in the S&T Tree;

the rules and techniques for the correct content of the 5 entities of the S&T box (step);

the rules for the relationship between the entities in the S&T box.

This knowledge DID NOT EXIST BEFORE. Jelena has recorded her developments in the four rigorous books: Behind the Cloud, Through Clouds to Solutions, Mistakes and Difficulties in Working with TOC Logical Tools, and A Good Strategy and Tactic Tree.

The objective of the 4-module program Thinking Processes 2.0 is to give participants thorough exposure to the new knowledge and to take them through rigorous practicing of rules and techniques with the objective of building and formalizing THE DECISIVE COMPETITIVE STRATEGY FOR THEIR SYSTEMS.

Each module is 3 days.

Thinking Processes 2.0 is conducted as a joint tutorship by Jelena, Oded and TOCPA International Schools Faculty Members with intensive tutor-student interaction in the following formats:
